NAR 2021 Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo
Join NAR for the 2021 REALTORS® Legislative Meetings taking place virtually May 3-14, 2021!

The meaning of home has permanently changed. Now, more than ever, Americans are counting on their homes for countless activities, but most of all as a respite, a safe space to be with, and to protect, themselves and their families.

From the beginning of the pandemic and throughout 2020, NAR has fought on behalf of members, agents, brokers, the industry and all Americans to protect and defend independent contractors and small business owners.

NAR is still in the fight! We are committed to protecting and defending property rights by providing guidance, support, and relief to help navigate the way out of the pandemic, revive our communities, and restore the economy.

We invite you to join us in advancing issues important to the
 real estate profession and the livelihood of REALTORS® at the virtual 2021 REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo!
